Conservation of Forest and Wildlife
Having become aware of the effects of deforestation. Paheli and Boojho are worried. They go to Prof. Ahmad and ask him how forests and wildlife can be saved.Prof. Ahmad organises a visit to a
biosphere reserve for Paheli. Boojho and their classmates. He selects a place named Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve. He knows that the plants and animals found here are similar to those of the upper Himalayan peaks and to those belonging to the lower western ghats. Prof. Ahmad believes that the biodiversity found here is unique. He requests Madhavji. a forest employee, to guide the children inside the biosphere reserve. He explains that preserving areas of such biological importance make them a part of our national heritage. Madhavji explains to the children that apart from our personal efforts and efforts of the society, government agencies also take care of the forests and animals. The government lays down rules, methods and policies to protect and conserve them. Wildlife sanctuaries, national parks, biosphere reserves, etc.are protected areas for conservation of plants and animals present in that area.
